Description: Emperor Maximilian I has been named as the author of the text, though that has not been substantiated. At least two versions of this composition exist: (1) a 4-voice diskantlied with the melody in the top (diskant) line, dating from the late 1530s, and (2) a lesser-know canonic version with the melody in the second (altus) and third (tenor) lines, probably from the 1520s. This edition uses both versions in an ABA arrangement (see edition notes above).
